SIR W. WEDDEHBURN (Banffshire)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the Government of the North West Provinces and Oudh subscribes for 62 copies of the Punjab Patriot, a newspaper published outside these provinces; and, if so, why this expense is incurred out of provincial revenues; and whether the same government has established a monopoly of printing judicial forms in favour of the "Newal Kishore" Press; and, if so, for what reason?
§ SIR EDWARD GREYSimilar questions were asked in the Council of the Lieutenant Governor on the 21st January last, and the Secretary of State has nothing to add to the answers there given as reported in the North West Provinces and Oudh Gazette for 26th January, 1895.
